Station Notes
Special Women's Programming
This month, we are devoting a large portion of our air
time to women's programming. WBAI was the first station
to become involved in producing women's programming,
and for the past four years, we have continued to meet the
growing demand of our listeners for this kind of broadcast.
Throughout the month, you'll be hearing the best of these
Archive programs, as well as a number of new ones pro-
duced specially for this month. The programs cover a wide
range of thought and activity: social, cultural, political,
and sexual. The October Folio reflects our programming,
and includes articles, literature, and artwork by and about
women.
Of course, none of these programs could have been pro-
duced without your support. Only listener-sponsorship
could have enabled us to produce programming in this
once highly-controversial area. We hope that you will con-
tinue to provide financial support so that we can investigate
new areas with the same independence. Renew your sub-
scriptions, give someone a gift sub, or make a donation in
any amount. See coupon, page 31 .
Staff Notes
If you are an alert Folio reader and/or listener, you will
have noticed changes in the staff list in September and in
this month's Folio also. The last several months have wit-
nessed many staff changes and, as this is the beginning of
WBAI's 13th fall season, we thought we'd recount them
for you. Brett Vuolo and Mimi Anderson have joined Suzan
Shown in the D&L Dept. Both Brett and Mimi have been
volunteer producers at WBAI for the past year. Milton Hoff-
Hoffman fans will be pleased to know that he is happily en-
sconsed at NET, working on arts programming.
Over the summer, Judy Miller took over as Washington
Bureau Chief. We're still looking for another Washington-
based journalist to assist her there.
This summer has also seen the passing of the WBAI Mus-
ic Dept. as we once knew it, i.e., Eric Salzman, Dan Kava-
naugh, Barbara Oka, Tony Elitcher, and Andre Lubart.
Risen in their stead you will find Mike Sahl, an old friend,
frequent volunteer, and sometime staff member of the sta-
tion over the last decade. Candy Cohen, in charge of FREE
MUSIC STORE events, Steve Rathe, a folk music buff, and
Judy Sherman, sometime techie and contemporary music
devotee, have also joined us.
Matt Alperin is not known through his air presence. He
is one of WBAI's voiceless wonders. Like others of his ilk,
he seldom strays from his basement habitat, i.e., he works
about 15 hours a day. He has been a volunteer for some
time, and is now a paid assistant subscription registrar. Matt
takes over for Sealy Gilles, who plans to resume her educa-
tion. The switchboard wizard, Ira Forleiter, has returned to
school, to be replaced by the fast hands of Frank DiLandro,
and the melodious voice of Bill Monaghan.
As for live radio people, you'll note that Liza Cowan is
no longer with us as a free-form producer. As this goes to
press, we are beginning the search for a new producer for
ELECTRA REWIRED, and are about to undertake an over-
all review and evaluation of live radio air time. We are also
making the commitment to broadcast a full 24 hours each
week day. Margot Adier will be producing THE HOUR OF
THE WOLF from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. for insomniacs and wee
hour commuters.
Julius Lester afficionados, who harbor fond memories
of THE GREAT PROLETARIAN CULTURAL REVOLU-
TION, will be happy to find that Julius has returned to us
alive and well, residing in UNCLE TOM'S CABIN on Thurs-
days and Fridays at 7 a.m. (josephson listeners should be
warned that Lester actually arrives on time!)
The genial host emeritus of THE OUTSIDE, Steve Post,
will raise his ugly head on MORNING SICKNESS, Mondays
through Wednesdays, at 7 a.m. (He's later than Josephson.)
David Lerner has also left us, hopefully for a short time
only. A consummate techie, we're yet to find someone to
do all the things for which he was responsible.
We hope you'll be listening to all the WBAI voices, old
and new.
Public Affairs Commentaries
After the NEWS each weekday night except Friday, we
will broadcast an editorial commentary. Most of the com-
mentaries will be done by outside specialists who will dis-
cuss a current issue within their area of expertise. Each
commentator will be heard every other week for the next
three months. A partial list of our commentators includes
Frances Piven, author of Regulating the Poor, Colin Greer,
managing editor of Social Policy magazine, Paul DuBrul,
community activist, Paul Davidoff of the Suburban Action
Institute, Ramon Arbona of the newspaper Claridad, and
Paul Booth, Chicago labor activist.
From the Music Department
Does your great uncle play the mandolin? Does your
friend write poignant, sensitive tunes, only to sing them to
the cat at 3 A.M.? Do you know of, or are you perhaps,
another Dylan, Zappa, or Carly Simon? We are looking for
tapes, demos, or home recordings of new musicians, poets,
and the work of composers and songwriters, for a new pro-
gram which begins this month: COMPOSERS AND PER-
FORMERS UNCLASSIFIED. If you have a tape, please
send it to us— but don't send us your only copy— we cannot
return tapes. Make sure that both the tape reel and the box
are clearly labeled, and that the cuts you want us to con-
sider are indicated. You might also want to copyright the
material, unless you aren't worried about someone else
using or publishing it. We will try to use at least one piece
from each tape that we get, unless the technical quality
makes it impossible to broadcast— but home recordings
should be adequate, if the dubbing is done carefully. Also,
be sure to include your name, address, and phone number
so we can notify you when your tape will be broadcast.
Send tapes to: COMPOSERS AND PERFORMERS UN-
CLASSIFIED, c/o WBAI Music Department, 359 East
62nd Street, New York, N. Y. 10021 .
We mourn the death of Arthur Sherrod, a staff mem-
ber and friend. August 21, 1972.
An Abridged History of
After the first "women's meeting" to plan the October
issue of the Folio (which was by the way the first "women's
meeting" in WBAI history) I walked outside the apartment
house where it was held and stopped suddenly still. Why
were we doing this now? Everyone else had done it years
ago. In fact our sister (brother) station, KPFK, in Los An-
geles had Marilyn Monroe on their Folio cover sometime
last year (at least six months before Ms.) and presented a
full month of women's programming. (You can see that I
suffer the common media anxiety about being first.)
I should admit from the start how the idea of a Women's
Folio evolved. One day last spring a woman at the Station
asked me when we were going to rebroadcast her program.
I said, "Just hold on to it. We'll do a special Women's Folio
soon and feature it then." Typical Program Director ex-
cuse . . . put it off and face ten times more work later. Well
I really believed (as I needed to) that that was the end of
that. I'd forget it and so would she. But she didn't and the
idea, snowballed. In August someone said, "When is the
meeting to plan the Women's Folio?" Rather than making
an excuse I put up a notice of the meeting, proving that
I'm a person that gets things done.
This happenstance led to a great internal crisis for me.
At the first meeting everyone seemed to be thinking along
the lines of a retrospective. We would broadcast the best of
our women's programming. But as a feminist and as Pro-
gram Director I couldn't go along with that. A retrospec-
tive implied for me an end ... to the women's movement
and to our women's programming. More frightening even
than the idea of a memorial was the threat that we would
continue to produce more consciousness raising etc.
In the last year I had found WOMANKIND harder and
harder to produce. Somehow there weren't natural stories
every week . . . new groups, takeovers, demonstrations, con-
ferences. We began to rely on "cultural" programming, re-
views of books and films and poetry readings. This dis-
appointed me. Partly I accounted for it by telling myself
that I was too absorbed in my other duties at the Station-
attending Folio meetings rather than feminist meetings. But
my other responsibilities couldn't be the whole answer.
Certainly the movement had changed. I was surprised—
really shocked— when I arrived in Miami to cover the Dem-
ocratic National Convention, to actually see how precipi-
tously the number of women delegates had climbed since
1968. On one level I was thrilled; on another I was depres-
sed. Had the movement been absorbed into the Democratic
Party? They say; everything changes, and everything stays
the same. Did this end WBAI's role in covering the women's
movement? One of our special roles is to create media
space for the unrepresented forces in our society. Certain-
ly women were gaining in representation . . . not all classes
of women but some substantial proportion anyway.
In July the Convention . . . very confusing indeed. In
August the third annual Women's Strike for Equality Day.
From 50,000 strong in 1970, secretaries coming out of of-
fice buildings . . . housewives wheeling strollers . . . The
National Organization for Women, The Feminists, New
Yor k Radical Feminists, Radical Lesbians, Older Women's
Liberation-all together. In 1972 down to 3000.
Definitely the wrong moment for a retrospective . . .
when I'm confused about the direction of the movement
. . . scared that it's been absorbed by America or fallen
away of its own weight. Tolling the death knell would hurt.
So we decided to move from a simple enthusiasm to
gather and present our best women's programming, to the
very ambitious idea of assessing whether or not the move-
ment has changed women's lives and the future of our
society.
One of the results of Consciousness Raising— however
repetitious it may have seemed— was a common under-
standing among us all about how our culture . . . even its
intellectual and scientific life, had been distorted. In re-
sponse to this new understanding, we are producing a num-
ber of programs which appear to us to progress naturally
from our previous coverage of demonstrations as well as
our consciousness raising programs.
THE WOMEN'S SCHOOL is to be a series of lectures by
prominent and not so prominent women academics, doc-
tors, scientists, lawyers, authors and artists discussing how
recent feminist thinking has transformed the various disci-
plines. These lectures will be presented live in Studio C
every other Tuesday evening, which means that you are in-
vited to come and participate in the discussion period.
Consciousness-Raising Groups made the discussion of
sex by ordinary people possible on the air. This year we
will present THE SEX PROGRAMME, a phone-in format
permitting you to talk to several doctors practicing sex
therapy in the Masters and Johnson tradition.
We realize we have neglected the problems of poor and
working class women. Much of the feminist programming
came from me, my self-discovery and I'm white and middle-
class. In an attempt to explore this area, Bonnie Bellow and
I are going to do two documentaries— one on telephone op-
erators and the other on the laundresses in a big plant
across the street from us on fancy E. 62nd Street.
The original intent of the women's movement was not
to simply change women's position in the society but in a
larger way to have some impact on the entire structure. In
many ways it has failed in this larger task. Although the
women's movement has exposed the inequities of job dis-
crimination, it has not really addressed the great question
of work-how alienating, enervating, deadening it is for
most people, male and female alike.
These documentaries, and additionally programs on
transit workers by Nick Egleson and on waitresses and
waiters by Jan Albert will be a beginning in this area.
Detailing for you THE WOMEN'S SCHOOL, THE SEX
PROGRAMME and the work documentaries makes it
sound as if we have determined tbe direction of the women's
en's movement and therefore our programs. That's not en-
tirely true. We have made assumptions about the direction
of the movement, but we are sure there are many facets
which we have not touched on. We hope that a new set of
programs, INTERVIEWS WITH WOMEN, will uncover is-
sues that we didn't know were there. Some will be close-up
talks with average women about their lives over the last
Women's Programming
by Nanette Rainone
five years. We will search out the i>6h-activists for this-the
women who haven't marched or participated in Conscious-
ness Raising. We want to know if these women have been
affected in their various roles as mothers, wives, and work-
ers—if so, how? If not, why not?
Approaching from another direction, we will be inter-
viewing organizers of the movement from three and even
four years ago. Where have they gone to . . . are they har-
vesting organic vegetables, reworking their manifestos far
from the TV camera's eyes, housekeeping in Suburbia,
teaching women's studies at Harvard, or are they down in
the nitty gritty of running abortion clinics and day care
centers?
Another serious question raised by the women's move-
ment focuses on the family. We want you to be in on this
discussion as much as possible. We have planned a get to-
gether ... a FREE FORUM: Marriage, Is It Alive and Well?
As I understand it, feminists are questioning the nuclear
family because they believe its structure is the bedrock of
an authoritarian, hierarchical and therefore militaristic and
repressive society. Where are we? Have we found new ways
to love and live? Or are trial marriages as reported recently
in The New York Times the extent of the change. Have the
experiments failed ... to provide companionship, warmth
and a place to rear children? And if so, what are our alter-
natives? Please join us in Studio C to hash out these ques-
tions. (Thursday, October 26, at 9;00 P.M.)
All these new ideas, formats and directions have not
completely shoved out the retrospective idea. One of our
proudest productions from the past has been the DIARY
series. It began with Ann Snitow's reviews of published
diaries: those of Lady Mary Montague, Alice James, Anais
Nin, Katherine Mansfield and many others. Her premise
was that, because women were discouraged from writing in
public forms such as the novel and poetry they turned to
private outlets such as diaries and letters which were than
placed safely in desk drawers. She hypothestized that
women revealed themselves in those private forms and that
by studying them we could experience the best female writ-
ing as well as glean insight into the lives of women living
and dead. Somewhere along the line we began to suspect
that many of our listeners were employing the diary outlet.
We received many manuscripts when we first requested on
the air to see their writing. We think in this process Ann
discovered some important writing. See the Journal of Gail
Kuenstler page 9. Having recalled for myself here the pro-
cess of putting this Folio together it strikes me now that
the woman who wanted her program rebroadcast was
Mimi Weisbord Anderson. Mimi showed up on day with
the idea of producing a documentary on Sylvia Plath. In
many years of listening to WBAI while she was at home
with two children Mimi apparently had memorized the
Pacifica documentary style and I think produced one of the
the most brilliant programs of that type. It will be on the
day after Sylvia Plath's birthday October 28, (because of
scheduling limitations.) Mimi then brought her friend Brett
Harvey Vuolo to the Station. Brett had in her possession
her great grandmother's diary. This brief poetic sketch of
her life, marrying, moving from New England to the Dako-
tas, hauling her piano with her provides a historical sketch
of the lives of women settling the West. Brett went on to
produce a series of "historical" diaries. Samples of this pro-
gression from Ann Snitow's early reviews culminating in
her series entitled NEW WRITING FROM WOMEN branch-
ing into Brett Vuolo's history series can be heard through-
out the first three weeks of the month.

Mimi and Brett it happens were in the same conscious-
ness raising group with a number of separated and divorced
women. Mimi introduced me to them and they formed the
nucleus of last year's CR group. And one of the women in
that group, Florence Adams who renovated her brownstone
by herself, will, beginning October 28, lead you from the
basement up through your house or apartment instructing
you along the way in how to repair, remove, replace and
generally how to fix up your place and save money. This
expedition in order to be most effective requires you to
follow her step by step with a transistor radio at your ear.
Mimi Anderson and Brett Vuolo will be taking over the
drama and literature department along with Suzan Shown
. this month. 1 1 seems an apotheosis to me to have two wom-
en, mobilized by their own CR experience, attracted here
by the women's programs, following their own inclinations
and talents, (I, of course would have preferred that they
cover demonstrations.), develop within WBAI standards of
excellence, and finally head up a department. The Station
stands-having been first to present women's programs— as
the only media institution which has not virtually aban-
doned the questions raised by the movements since the
demonstrators left the streets and the answers have become
entangled in complexity and doubt.
On Excitement
Excerpts from Adam's Rib
by Ruth Herschberger
Adam's Rib was first published in 1948. The book, still
one of the most radical pieces of feminist writing we have,
is not yet well known. Ellen Harold suggests in Aphra that
Adam's Rib has never caught on because it rejects the tone
of patriarchal authority and is, instead, a funny and unpre-
tentious book. Or perhaps a book that says so much of
what feminists are saying now, but was written in 1948, de-
flates our sense of progress, our hopes for quick change.
Maybe radical feminism is just never a particularly saleable
item. {Adam's Rib is a Harper and Row paperback.)
The Laws of Rapture
Orgasm requires intense excitement and the cooperation
of the sympathetic nervous system. The body is a wheel
that, once stimulated, proves self-accelerating. Excitement
has an energizing effect. The sympathetic system is stimu-
lated by excitement and creates further excitement. The
culmination of this process, sexually, is orgasm.
What happens in women? Why does excitement so often
die down, cease to accumulate momentum, and stop short
of orgasm?
The answer goes back to a physiological fact. Excite-
ment increases moror (muscular) efficency. Strong excite-
ment automatically drives the blood from the vegetative
organs, such as the stomach, to the organs needed for mus-
cular exertion-the lungs, heart, and central nervous sys-
tem. When blood is rushed to the skeletal muscles, the
body becomes poised for action.
But action, or any inclination to act or take initiative, is
forbidden women. Motor efficiency in sex is the peroga-
tive of man. Thus an excitement which might give rise to
an activity that is tabooed will find itself in turn discour-
aged. This is true in all realms— social, political, and eco-
nomic. Where society frowns on initiative, it frowns on the
excitement that induces this initiative. Hence the discour-
agement of certain types of political excitement or "agita-
tion."
The excitements which lead to the motor efficiency
called war are properly discouraged. Society would do well
to eliminate the "excitements" leading to race hatred. But
women have a right to protest against their own motor
efficiency in the realm of love being included in this list of
social enemies.
Further, if excitement is not allowed to accumulate,
there is little possibility of orgasm. We will find that the
motor efficiency of women is generally evaluated in terms
of how much pleasure it gives men.
How Women Manage to be Frigid and Over-Emotional
While women are commonly regarded as sexually frigid,
it is equally traditional to regard them as extremely emo-
tional. The word emotion originally meant strong feeling
or agitation, but it has been modified by usage until it fits
like a glove the mild unsatisfied longings of women. Emo-
tion, to accommodate this nebulous feminine world, has
taken on a meaning of diffuseness and internal vibration.
It is, so to say, an Excitement from which the intensity
and motor efficiency have been removed.
No wonder Eros, in its more physical manifestations, has
taken men to its bosom rather than women. The wheel of
the body and the laws of rapture gain mobility in men.
They acquire the swiftness and efficiency of a Silver Mete-
or, while in women the same processes, beset by bit and
rein, slow down to the monotonous pace of a one-horse
shay. If the realm of sex is reserved for men, when are
women allowed to act, to carry out motor responses, ma-
nipulate the environment, execute tasks, initiate deeds? . . . .
A woman need not hesitate to become intensely excited
over a trousseau, her child's first step, somebody's health, a
recipe, a husband's faux pas, crows-feet around the eyes, or
the presence of a small gray mouse. In these proverbial ex-
citements a woman has carte blanche ....
When some new and unprecedented field requiring mo-
tor efficiency comes into being, as with the invention of
the typewriter and the automobile, there is a certain trial
period in which medical and mechanical authorities— all
male— discuss whether women are strong enough to handle
the new instruments. This seriously took place in the case
of the typewriter. What eventually happened was that men
woke up to the fact that the typewriter, that infernal ma-
chine, while at first interesting and novel, was actually ex-
tremely tedious to operate, and they forthwith handed it
over to the world of women whom they have never ceased
to congratulate for their dexterity and precision in regard
to it. The automobile proved to be much more fun, and be-
came a machine only susceptible to the motor efficiency
of men, who erected a barrier of jokes to exclude women
drivers from their new toy.
Her tiny feet
Like snails did creep
A little out, and then
As if they started at bo-peep
Did soon draw in again.
HERRICK
The enemy of excitement is Fatigue. Laboratory exper-
iments have shown that while resting will reduce fatigue
only after an hour or more, the release of adrenalin will ac-
complish this rejuvenation in five minutes or less. Unfor-
tunately, it is excitement which stimulates the adrenal
glands to secrete adrenalin. Exertion and "behavior" acti-
vates the sympathetic nervous system and promotes excite-
ment. Excitement activates the sympathetic nervous sys-
tem and promotes exertion. Excitement (in sex), exertion,
and behavior are forbidden the female.
No wonder women complain of feeling tired.
Excitement produces various fervent effects: accelera-
tion of the heart, rapid respiration, dilated pupils, pallor or
flushing. Yet any manifestation of these in a female is re-
garded with horror as breath from the grave. The little
6
girl is taught to guard against any "strain" being put on her
system. A boy's pallor over a basketball game is attribmed
to his excitement over which side will win. The same pallor
in a girl indicates that she is about to taint. No wonder she
often does.
illustration by Lucia Vernarelli
Women are bewildered because their first response to
sex is so prompt, spontaneous and rewarding. Up to a point
excitement prevails. But suddenly something in them stops
climbing. Pleasure retreats. They feel tired, exhausted, they
don't want any more. Taught to avoid any "strain" on
their system, the intolerable excitements of sex become
terrifying, paralyzing.
Go ahead and love! we say to women. But don't get so
excited about it!
When a woman begins to speed toward a climax, she is
likely to hear a siren in her ears and her mother's voice say-
ing, Pull over to the curb, dear, you're driving too fast.
It is the woman, who is not required to "do anything"
in the sex act, who usually suffers the most from fatigue.
Women do nothing and get tired doing it. This becomes
comprehensible with an understanding of the energizing
effect of excitement and spontaneous exertion. It is precise-
ly because women do nothing that they get so tired doing
it. The cure is not rest and sedatives but the freedom to par-
ticipate.
What is frequent in unhappy sexual relations? Fatigue.
What can relieve fatigue? Adrenalin. What stimulates adren-
alin? Excitement. Who is the notorious Tired One of mar-
riages? The woman. For whom is excitement supposedly
dangerous? She!
Women need excitement. They need the energy and free-
dom of excitement, a capacity with which they were born,
but which has been systematically drained out of them on
the ground that they cannot stand what boys can. It is ex-
citement and spontaneity that can dissolve the fears that
women bring to marriage. Instead they are expected to con-
quer shame by brain-waves, psychoanalysis, "receptivity,"
thoughts of childbearing.
A boy learns in games to carry on beyond an initial
point of fatigue. Excitement is healthy, he is told; it is no-
thing to be ashamed of. The phenomenon of second wind
is nothing more than the victory of excitement over fatigue.
An enthusiasm which refuses to be downed stimulates the
release of adrenalin and literally cures fatigue. The least sug-
gestion of fatigue in a woman appears to her as just retribu-
tion for her wickedness. She has allowed herself to become
excited, there has been an accumulation of muscle tone
which is in itself improper in a female, and what her moth-
er always predicted has come about: her body has broken
down in the midst of things.
Sexual excitement does not tire women. It is their fight
against it that proves so wearying. Instead of the rewards
of energy, joy, and physiological satisfaction, the frigid
woman experiences fear, emotional blockage, and frustra-
tion. Fatigue has an easy time gaining ascendancy over joy
as long as excitement is in disrepute with her body.
Women are expected to keep control of themselves.
Their hysteria is an excitement that finds no permissible
outlet. Men stamp out of the house; women stay home and
have hysterics. Hysteria involves maximum exertion with
minimum motor efficiency. It is excitement stymied, ex-
citement in search of expression, excitement revealing itself
as impotent and self-frustrating. It helps demonstrate to
men that they have nothing to fear.
A woman struggling away from her own frigidity tries
everything-everything but an examination of her own
wishes. She tries willpower, she tries cosmic responsiveness,
she tries transference and sublimation, she tries self-castiga-
tion, concealment, she tries unwillingness. Oh no! please!—
it is all that's left to show she is a free being in a free en-
vironment making a free choice. Maybe she is lucky in this
much, for it is more than most minorities are permitted.

The Journal of Gail Kuenstler
Those who have been following Gail Kuenstler 's Journal
on the air will be glad to know that it continues to grow.
In the earlier sections of the Journal Gail was married,
divorced, lived in a commune and taught children. Now
she is writing, working as a therapist treating private pa-
tients in a mental hospital, and becoming, as she says, the
man she wanted to marry.
Following are some recent entries never recorded for
broadcast. All names have been changed except that of
Emily, Gail's six year old daughter
On Star Trek one of the heroes is a cold, inhuman, perfect
guy. The show got so much fanmail the quality of which
was so bizarre, so passionate and desperate, from so many
women out there in TV land, that they had to change the
character. He made a few mistai<es. The letters stopped.
I went to an interview with a clinical psychologist. He
wanted an attractive right arm. I said I didn't want to be
anybody's handmaiden. He said, "Why aren't you trying to
sell yourself instead of asking about me?" I said, "No, I feel
eminently desirable, I want to know about you." I walked
out and felt very desirable, flooded with vaginal juices.
By masculine I mean freer.
When things start to go very well with the writing, I go
downstairs for coffee.

Took a cab up 6th Avenue. The people on the street are
like little flourishes or decorations against the enormous
buildings. The humans are little colored birds.
Emily: When I wouldn't give money to a blind beggar.
"When you are old and walk with a cane I'm going to push
you down once or twice."
Problem: What to do with Davie— what activities? Besides
sex. We lean on each other, would like to surrender our
lives to each other. The phenomenon of the dependency
vacuum cleaner: at least for a woman, the one relationship
with the man soaks up the other areas of her life, her other
interests, friends that she had so painfully cultivated.
Talked about the joyous wholeness which is a part of ritual
dance. I need a traveling mime troupe.
I have been terribly depressed. Again my fantasies of a
primitive tribe, traveling, trying to figure out what I'm not
getting. I talked and talked about it. It was resolved into
the need for a gang, people to hang out with, to laugh with,
to eat with. The need to dance, to act, to play, move and
scream, goes ungratified. The closest thing was the women's
theater group. I can't seem to replace it. I need to perform,
to act extravagantly. Sex i5 the only thing like it— but too
specific.
Typing up this diary, I come upon portions that I don't
recognize. I realize that it's my patient, Jim's, life.
A Life to Live. Godard uses a quote from Poe— he took the
paint from her cheeks and put it on the canvas.
Emily patting and talking and caressing a molded plastic
horse on the playground, giving it such sweet looks. It
should have come alive. We're in a park in Alexandria next
to the Potomac. I'm sitting on a bench next to a genuine
rose and wild flowers. The birds are chirping.
Em: Mommie, don't you wish the world was ours?
Oh, god, why do I write in this book? It's my attempt at
doing something. I don't have anything else but this day. I
feel so empty-handed coming to this journal. It's such a
pathetic attempt at creative work— a journal.
Went to gun practice yesterday. We talked about why self
defense? It's important to learn but unfortuantely it's the
easiest part of the context in which it needs to be set. I pro-
tested, "I'm not so politically effective that I'm going to
have to defend myself." "Well, but your friends are maybe.
Really, you know Dickens' blacking factory is nothing com-
pared to a modern career.
Last night I got past falling asleep at 7:00 or so-put Em to
bed and then painted awhile-something I had some hope
for— it went badly so I went to bed and slept about 1 3
hours. It's really a terrific defeat, a night like that and I
have a lot of them. Yesterday I didn't want to go out but I
was lonely after dinner (I am just learning that that feeling
is loneliness) and I went through my address book and
found a few people just to call and talk to and then didn't
call them. Why am I so reluctant to move-literally-to
travel, to go to the subway, to leave the house? Why so re-
luctant to get babysitters?
I'm becoming the man I wanted to marry.

Forgotten Women Poets
Lines to Mr. Bowdle of Ohio
by Alice Duer Miller, 1915
From Mr. Bowdle's anti-suffrage speech in Congress,
January 12, 1915: "The women of this smart capital are
beautiful. Their beauty is disturbing to business; their feet
are beautiful, their ankles are beautiful . . . but here I must
pause . . . ."
You, who despise the so-called fairer sex.
Be brave. There really isn't any reason
You should not, if you wish, oppose and vex
And scold us in, and even out of season;
But don't regard it as your bounden duty
To open with a tribute to our beauty.
Say, if you like, that women have no sense.
No self-control, no power of concentration;
Say that hysterics is our one defense
Our virtue but an absence of temptation;
These I can bear, but oh, I own it rankles
To hear you maundering on about our ankles.
Tell those old stories which have now and then
Been from the Record thoughtfully deleted;
Repeat that favorite one about the hen.
Repeat the ones that cannot be repeated;
But in the midst of such enjoyments, smother
The impulse to extol your "sainted mother".
Verses
by Lady Winchilsea, England, 1661
How we are fallen! Fallen by mistaken rules
And education's more than nature's fools;
Debarred from all improvements of the mind,
And to be dull, expected and designed
And if some one would soar above the rest,
With warmer fancy, and ambition pressed.
They tell us we mistake our sex and way;
Good breeding, fashion, dancing, dressing, play
Are the accomplishments we should desire.
To write, to read, to think, or to enquire
Would cloud our beauty, and exhaust our time
And interrupt the conquests of our prime.
Whilst the dull manage of a servile house
Is held by some our utmost art and use.

Meditation at Kew
by Anna Wickham, London, 1910
Alas! for all the pretty women who marry dull men,
Go into the suburbs and never come out again.
Who lose their pretty faces and dim their pretty eyes,
Because no one has skill or courage to organize.
What do these pretty women suffer when they marry?
They bear a boy who is like Uncle Harry,
A girl who is like Aunt Eliza, and not new.
These old, dull races must breed true.
I would enclose a common in the sun.
And let the young wives out to laugh and run;
I would steal their dull clothes and go away,
And leave the pretty naked things to play.
Then I would make a contract with hard Fate
That they see all the men in the world and choose a mate,
And I would summon all the pipers in the town
That they dance with Love at a feast, and dance him down.
From these gay unions of choice
We'd have a race of splendid beauty, and of thrilling voice.
The World whips frank, gay love with rods.
But frankly, gayly shall we get the gods.

Women & Broadcasting
In preparing for this special month of programming we
were interested in finding out what kinds of women's pro-
gramming other radio stations were producing. We had
heard that WFCR, an FM station in Amherst, Massachusetts,
was conducting a survey of women's programming. We con-
tacted them and the following letter was received in response.
Ms. Bonnie Bellow
WBAI
359 East 62nd Street
New York, N.Y. 10021
Dear Bonnie:
First, some relevant background information, and re-
assertion of a few points which have been getting lost in
the mechanics (bureaucracy, politics) of getting the survey
out and arranging the forthcoming workshop at the Nation-
al Association of Educational Broadcasters (NAEB) Con-
vention this October:
1. Elaine Prostak and I brought the idea of having a
women's survey to the Public Radio Conference this
past May. We wanted it (the survey) to serve as a pre-
liminary step to setting up a workshop at the NAEB
Convention on "The Status of Women and the Na-
ture of Women's Programming in Public Radio."
With the help and encouragement of Patti Carter
(National Public Radio-NPR), Mary Roman (Paci-
fica Foundation, Berkeley), and Marion Watson (Sta-
tion KUOM), we organized the women's programming
session at the Public Radio Conference, recorded the
ideas that were brought out there (later sent out in
the National Educational Radio— NER— mailing with
the survey), and wrote up a draft of the first Women's
Survey. We then proposed the whole tie-in with the
NAEB Convention to ] im Robertson (NER) who
was very enthusiastic about it, and having received
the best wishes of "high level" people at the Corpora-
tion for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and NPR, we be-
gan our work and felt good
2. Since that happy time in May, CPB dropped out (that
is, refused to have their name attached to the survey
along with NER and NPR, because it would not be
"appropriate"). But since NPR was interested in hear-
ing what people had to say about women's program-
ming, and NER hung in there too, the survey came
out as being "sponsored" by NER and NPR.
3. In the meantime, NER kept its promise to take charge
of printing up and mailing out all the surveys— although
though somehow, the original survey was edited down
slightly (omitting the question about "Positions held
by women" and "Salary") when it finally came out,
and somehow all the stations that were supposed to
receive it (all members and affiliates of NPR, CPB,
and NER) did not, and we were never told why, or
who did receive it.
4. As responses to the Women's Survey began to be re-
turned to Elaine and me at WFCR, we found out that
Pat Swenson would be "chairman" of the women's
workshop at the NAEB Convention, because all mem-
bers of the NER Board of Directors get to "chair" a
workshop, and Pat, being the only woman on the 9-
member Board, logically got this one. Other "invita-
tions" to take part in the NAEB's women's workshop
were sent out to Elaine, Mary Roman, and Susan
Stamberg (NPR?). Then, word came that the work-
shop had been scheduled for the last day of the
NAEB Convention, just before dinner time, when no
other workshops are being offered.
So that's essentially what it's really about, or has turned
into, so far. We are still getting response to the survey and
so we don't want to release any numbers yet, but here are
a few choice comments:
"We do not particularly design programs exclusively for
women. We like to feel most of our programming appeals
to both sexes. However, some segments of (name of pro-
gram) are primarily directed to homemakers, house-
wives, mothers and those expected to be at home . . . ."
"Please understand that I am not trying to be snide, but
we do not have any 'men's' programming either. That is,
none of our programming is directed toward one particu-
lar sex; it is, I suppose, asexual."
"We would welcome any good, non-locally produced
women's programs ... so far, we have found nothing
offered."
"(name of program) is . . . discussion of such issues as
equal employment, abortion, equal rights amendment,
legal rights of women— or lack of—, problems of profes-
sional women, etc. IT IS WHAT A WOMAN'S PRO-
GRAM OUGHT TO BE!"
"One girl helps in producing a children's program and
does our classical programming, another has produced a
woman's liberation program and does a progressive mus-
ic program, and our third newly acquired girl . . . ."
"We have locally and non-locally produced programs by
women but not especially for women. Would like some!"
"We are an instructional television station and do not
produce 'women's programming' as such. We are most
interested, however, in the results of your survey. Best
Wishes."
We are also finding that content of what producers think
of as Women's Programming runs the gamut from "chang-
ing roles of women in Findland" to book and art reviews
to consumerism to French culture to cooking, sewing, dia-
pering and consciousness raising.
We're also compiling information from CPB, NPR and
NER on their activities specifically for women in radio, such
as grants, present and future, proposed for women's pro-
gramming, hiring and promotion of women, guidelines, at-
tempts to encourage members and affiliates to adopt fair
practices, etc. I hope all this information is useful to you.

Letters
DearWBAI
This will be the sixth year that I've contributed to BAI.
This entitles me to no special privilegesTn having my views
about the station heard. It does, however, mean that I've
been paying considerable attention to the fortunes of the
station for that period of time.
Let me say that I'd feel obligated to keep WBAI going
even were my pessimism as to the direction of the station
stronger than it is. WBAI is, to put it plainly, the only real-
ly viable institution in the New York area for keeping in
touch with political and social reality. It could be a hell of
a lot worse than it is and still be worth more to me than I
can afford to pay.
However, I do think that, as an institution, WBAI has
been less foresightcd and more fatuous in its thinking and
planning than I would have thought possible two or three
years ago. I have the feeling that the station, in an unthink-
ing and somewhat lazy way, has become the special pre-
serve of small coteries and little in-groups whose idea of
communication consists of speaking to the converted. I'm
not in any sense objecting to the left-wing cast of most of
the political commentary. I wish there were a hell of a lot
more of it. I do, however, object to the prominence given
to the epiphenomena of the left-wing resurgence in Amer-
ica. Your concentration upon matters that are peripheral
and even silly enervates and dilutes the attention that
should be given to subjects that are desperately important.
The most egregious example of this disproportion is
evident in the time devoted to the feminist movement, or,
more accurately, to the species of feminism which is most
articulate and self-advertising. What one hears, for the most
part, on WBAI isn't the point of view of a mass movement,
or the nucleus thereof. Rather, what one hears is the intro-
spection of a small and somewhat hypersensitive affinity
group. Whatever seems most trendy and titillating in a
given week is presented as the "feminist" viewpoint. To
the extent that there is any criticism, it comes from some
rival on the outer limbs of feminist theory. The feminism
that is implicit in BAI 's programming is really the property
of articulate, well-educated young women, (bluestockings
really) who are smarting and justifiably resentful over snubs
and disenchantments, but whose experience is pretty much
atypical. I've heard an awful lot about the insidious role of
sex-typing in poisoning the relationships of all of us left-
wing intellectuals. I've heard an awful lot of orgasm-wor-
ship and philosophical justification of masturbation and
lesbianism as escapes from the evils of male domination.
But I haven't heard a goddam thing about what it's like to
be (for instance) a waitress at Howard Johnson or a sales-
girl in Korvette's or a textile worker at a scab plant in
North Carolina. It just seems to me that the sexual Utopias
of Kate Millet or Jill Johnston can safely be put on the
back burner until more pressing business, much closer to
the real lives of most women, is taken care of.
Much of what I've said above also applies to BAI's pro-
grams dealing with oppression of homosexuals. What one
hears is not so much discussion or analysis as it is the con-
stant repetition of a sort of litany. Perhaps this is inevita-
ble within any movement facing such an uphill struggle.
But it is hardly a source of good or useful programming.
Charles Pitts is a particularly crude offender in this regard.
Mr. Pitts is undoubtedly intelligent and justifiably angry as
hell. Unfortunately, he is also spiteful, intolerant, and te-
dious, and a querelous spoiled brat to boot. I should think
that the station could have done better than to have come
up with a gay joe Pyne.
What makes BAI's feminist and gay programming a
source of uneasyness to me is not so much content, in the
final analysis, as the fact that there seem to be so much
more urgent things to be done. Despite WBAI'S programs
directed to blacks and Puerto-riquenos, there seems to be
nothing that really addresses itself to the real problems and
real oppression of working-class people as such. I don't
really believe that Charles Pitts is much more oppressed
than a taxi-driver or a sanitation worker. And, in conse-
quence, I don't really believe that there is any justification
for putting on six or seven hours a week of "homosexual"
programming while never even talking about such things as
union organizing or unemployment or even, god help us,
law and order, which means, to the average guy who worries
about it, the chance that his wife will be hit over the head
walking home from the subway. WBAI may never, in the
forseeable future, get a lot of support from Bay Ridge or
Staten Island, but it certainly has the obligation to exam-
ine the sources of working-class (and that includes "middle
class") discontent and to take seriously the fact that most
people get their daily lumps in a manner quite different
from feminists, gay activists, and freaks.
In sum, I think that WBAI is seriously in danger of be-
coming the sort of sandbox where everyone walks around
with an air of fey self-congratulation for his or her en-
lightened acceptance of any quirky and marginal idea which
might lay claim to being part of "changing consciousness".
(I don't think I exaggerate, having heard, in the last few
months, hours devoted to justifications of S&M and pedo-
philia, as well as a considerable snootful of astrology and
Baba Ram Dass, nee Alpert). Moreover, this is all accom-
panied by an odor of smugness and dogmatism.
Finally, I note with regret the departure of Larry
Josephson. Perhaps Larry's gone a bit too far in his cyni-
cism and abjuration of all things political. But Larry has a
sharp and skeptical intelligence and an ironic appreciation
for the human capacity for fustian and self-deception, and
it is these qualities which WBAI most needs right now.
Trading Larry (in effect) for Pitts is a lousy deal for listen-
ers.

Take A Hammer
In Your Hand,Sister
On Saturday, October 28, Florence Adams will begin a series of
radio courses for women in various aspects of home repairs, specif-
ically, electricity, plumbing and carpentry. The purpose of the ser-
ies is not, obviously, to make you into a professional plumber, elec-
trician or carpenter; rather, it is designed to help women overcome
that sense of rising helplessness so many of us feel when confronted
by blown fuses, overflowing toilets, dripping faucets, and impene-
trable walls-not to mention plumbers, electricians, carpenters (pro-
fessional and amateur) and other men!
Ms. Adams will be sharing knowledge she aquired through need.
A divorced mother of two sons, she "rejuvenated" a brownstone
with no help and less money, and crowned her achievement with
the construction of a staircase. She plans to strip away the mascu-
line mystique from such areas as power tools and how to use them;
how to buy wood at lumber yards and what kind of wood to buy;
wiring wall and ceiling fixtures; the nature of the fuse; the structure
of walls and how to hang things on them (from calendars to book-
cases).
We suggest you arm yourself with a transistor or other small por-
table radio, if possible, as Ms. Adams will be traveling around with
you, inspecting hinges, taking apart faucets and gazing into the mys-
terious depths of your toilet bowl. And toward the end of the
course, you will find yourself not merely coping with domestic
emergencies, but actually building something of your own. Take
a hammer in your hands. Sister.
